Over 325 participants definitely enjoyed ‘paddling, shredding, and treading the red’ at our 8th annual event this morning!

Thank you to the RACERS and their supporters - we couldn’t do it without you. Watch for a wrap-up email in the next day or so.

Thank you to our VOLUNTEERS - from course marshalls to sweeps to parking, water stops, check-in, and everything in between - it takes an army (100+ this year) to pull it all off every year!

Thank you to our vendors and
sponsors that came out today and/or supported the event in other ways. Our PARTNERS show up every year and provide an undeniable base of support!

Links to the results (via Pickle Events) and pics (via MinnCam) are on our website: www.cuyunaoffroadtri.com/past. All photos will be uploaded within the next few days.

You ALL know how to put the FUN in FUNdraiser. After this year’s event, we can proudly and loudly claim that we’ve raised OVER $100,000 for the Cuyuna Range Elementary School Parent-Teacher Organization - CRES PTO!!! That is no small feat and it’s because of a community - near and far - that supports this event.

Assuming we get the blessing from our friends at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, we look forward to having everyone back again on June 13, 2027!

Final details for tomorrow morning...

After you drop off your boat (anytime after 6am)... you need a state park permit if you park along the entry road or the small grass lot in the Rec Area. Parking is not allowed along County Road 30 or in the Pennington boat launch lot so please plan ahead. The Crosby-Ironton High School parking lot is less than two miles away and has ample free parking.

We will be starting promptly at 8am and will share some announcements at that time. Please be near the shoreline/pavilion so you can hear about any important last-minute updates.

The forecast looks beautiful – no threat of storms or major weather right now. If something changes and there's any question about the event being cancelled because of storms, watch our website and page. Remember that the DNR reserves the right to cancel or postpone the race due to inclement weather!

We checked in 84 racers last night. If you want to check in tonight, stop by the Rally Center from 4-7pm, or we’ll be ready to help you at 6am tomorrow. Regardless of when you check in, please remember that everyone must get body marked and pick up your chip timer at the pavilion tomorrow morning. If you know your bib number it will expedite that process!

Cuyuna Regional Medical Center (CRMC) will have an EMT available to assist with any emergency needs. And our friends from the Minnesota Chiropractic Association will be in/near the pavilion to provide FREE services.

The trails are in great shape! Bikers: please use the racer plates that will be provided. Runners: please don't run on the high sides of the berms as that can cause damage. Poison ivy is prolific in the Rec Area. Please stay on trails and in designated areas.
The more you wear your bib, the easier it will be for our fancy camera technology to pick up your number and automatically tag you in their system. Wear that thing loud and proud.

Last but not least… please be patient with others and our volunteers. Tomorrow morning will likely be congested, with a healthy dose of organized chaos. We’ll do our best but we’re all just here to have FUN and support our local youth with this awesome fundraiser!!
